Stroke-Associated Pneumonia: Major Advances and Obstacles Tập 35 Số 5 - Trang 430-443 - 2013
Yousef Hannawi, Bashar Hannawi, Chethan P. Venkatasubba Rao, José I. Suárez, Eric M. Bershad
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) has been implicated in the morbidity, mortality and increased medical cost after acute ischemic stroke. The annual cost of SAP during hospitalization in the United States approaches USD 459 million. The incidence and prognosis of SAP among intensive care unit (ICU) patients have not been thoroughly investig...... hiện toàn bộ
European Stroke Organization Guidelines for the Management of Intracranial Aneurysms and Subarachnoid Haemorrhage Tập 35 Số 2 - Trang 93-112 - 2013
Kennedy R. Lees, Seppo Juvela, Andreas Unterberg, Carla Jung, Michael Forsting, Gabriël J.E. Rinkel
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Intracranial aneurysm with and without subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a relevant health problem: The overall incidence is about 9 per 100,000 with a wide range, in some countries up to 20 per 100,000. Mortality rate with conservative treatment within the first months is 50–60%. About one third of patients left with an untreated aneurysm ...... hiện toàn bộ
Mannheim Intima-Media Thickness Consensus Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 346-349 - 2004
Jean Dallongeville, Michael G. Hennerici, Stephen Meairs, Hadie Adams, Pierre Amarenco, Ryan T. Demmer, Shah Ebrahim, Marc Fatar, Rodríguez Hernández, Christine Espinola‐Klein, Patrizio Prati, Tatjana Rundek, Andrew J. Taylor, Natan M. Bornstein, László Csiba, Éric Vicaut, Kam-Sang Woo, Faı̈ez Zannad
Intima-media thickness (IMT) is increasingly used in clinical trials as a surrogate end point for determining the success of interventions that lower risk factors for atherosclerosis. The necessity for unified criteria to distinguish early atherosclerotic plaque formation from thickening of IMT and to standardize IMT measurements is addressed in this consensus statement. Plaque is defined ...... hiện toàn bộ
New Approach to Stroke Subtyping: The A-S-C-O (Phenotypic) Classification of Stroke Tập 27 Số 5 - Trang 502-508 - 2009
Pierre Amarenco, Julien Bogousslavsky, L.R. Caplan, Geoffrey A. Donnan, Michael G. Hennerici
We now propose a new approach to stroke subtyping. The concept is to introduce a complete ‘stroke phenotyping’ classification (i.e. stroke etiology and the presence of all underlying diseases, divided by grade of severity) as distinguished from past classifications that subtype strokes by characterizing only the most likely cause(s) of stroke. In this phenotype-based classification, every ...... hiện toàn bộ
CT and MRI Rating of White Matter Lesions Tập 13 Số Suppl. 2 - Trang 31-36 - 2002
Franz Fazekas, Frederik Barkhof, Lars‐Olof Wahlund, Leonardo Pantoni, Timo Erkinjuntti, Philip Scheltens, Reinhold Schmidt
Rating scales play an important role in the evaluation of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance-detected white matter lesions (WML). Unfortunately, this type of visual semiquantitative assessment is not yet an optimal tool because commonly agreed concepts regarding its use are lacking. To generate a discussion platform for further improvement of CT and MRI rating, we will provide ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cerebral Microbleeds: Histopathological Correlation of Neuroimaging Tập 32 Số 6 - Trang 528-534 - 2011
Ashkan Shoamanesh, Chun Shing Kwok, Oscar Benavente
<i>Background:</i> In recent years, there has been a growing interest in cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and their role in cerebrovascular disease. A few studies have investigated the histopathological correlation between CMBs and neuroimaging findings. We conducted a systematic review in an attempt to characterize the pathological and radiological correlation. <i>Methods:<...... hiện toàn bộ
Stroke-Associated Infection Is an Independent Risk Factor for Poor Outcome after Acute Ischemic Stroke: Data from the Netherlands Stroke Survey Tập 27 Số 5 - Trang 465-471 - 2009
Frédérique H Vermeij, Wilma J.M. Scholte op Reimer, Peter de Man, Robert J. van Oostenbrugge, Cees L. Franke, Gosse de Jong, Paul L.M. de Kort, Diederik W.J. Dippel
<i>Background:</i> Infections are a common and serious threat to patients with acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of infection on mortality and functional outcome at discharge and at 1 year. <i>Methods:</i> From a consecutive cohort study in 11 centers, the Netherlands Stroke Survey, we selected 521 patients with ischemic stroke ad...... hiện toàn bộ
The Fetal Variant of the Circle of Willis and Its Influence on the Cerebral Collateral Circulation Tập 22 Số 4 - Trang 217-224 - 2006
A. Fleur van Raamt, Willem P.Th.M. Mali, Peter Jan van Laar, Yolanda van der Graaf
In a fetal-type posterior circle of Willis (FTP) there is an embryonic derivation of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) from the internal carotid artery (ICA). Besides the fact that a larger area is thus dependent on the ICA, leptomeningeal vessels cannot develop between the anterior and posterior circulation. The tentorium namely prevents cerebellar vessels from connecting to the PCA ter...... hiện toàn bộ
